Sausage & Kale Naan Pizzas
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced or thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar (optional)
- 8 cups lightly packed chopped kale or baby kale
- 12 ounces precooked chicken Italian sausage, sliced (I use precooked vegan sausage but you could really use any Italian sausage - just be sure to cook it if it is not precooked. )
- 2 to 4 naan breads or whole-wheat pitas (Trader Joe’s frozen garlic naan is the best but can use any frozen or bakery naan)
- 1 cup mini mozzarella balls, such as mozzarella “pearls” or chopped fresh mozzarella
- Grated Parmesan
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees (or use broiler).
Mix olive oil, garlic, red pepper, salt, and red wine vinegar in a larger bowl. Add kale and mix well with hands, “massaging” the kale to make sure that the oil is distributed evenly.
Divide sliced Italian sausage and place on naan breads. Pile on kale (2 cups or so per 8 inch naan). Divide mozzarella and sprinkle over kale. Sprinkle grated Parmesan over everything.
Bake or broil until the cheese is melted, the kale is crispy, and the edges of the naan are starting to brown, about 4-5 minutes. May take a little longer if naan is frozen.
